I just would like to hear opinions about why it's beneficial to get married if one isn't traditional or religious? I can see why back in the day it was popular, because if you were a woman you were helpless and by gosh there was no way you could actually make it in the world without a man!!! (note sarcasm...) I mean that saying " Why buy the cow if you get the milk for free)? How absurd is that? Are we livestock? I'm not trying to sway anyone's opinion of marriage, I'm trying to make my opinion evident, because I'm in a situation now, where I have 3 kids, and a spouse and we have the best lives!!! I could take care of myself without him an vise versa. Also, if we ever did part I'm sure we would continue to share the same interest in the well being of our children( I know I can only speak for myself in definitive terms here). But the way marriages break up anymore, what exactly is the difference? Perhaps if so many didn't just get married out of obligation all the divorces wouldn't be so. I mean it was different back in the day not because people had more morals, but probably because they felt they had no choice. I don't know about you but I vote for choice over living a trapped and abysmal life any day of the week.
